PRATTVILLE — A teenager is charged with reckless murder and driving under the influence in connection with a Sunday morning fatal wreck that killed a Deatsville woman.

Jorge Noel Reyes Ruiz, 19, of the 100 block of Gawain Drive, Prattville, was arrested Sunday by Alabama State Troopers. Ruiz was being held in the Autauga Metro Jail Monday morning without bond.

The wreck occurred at about 6:15 a.m. on U.S. Highway 31 near mile marker 193, just north of Prattville. Marlena Nicole Hayes, 29, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. The 2011 Ford F-150 Ruiz was driving allegedly crossed the center line and struck the 2007 Honda Civic Hayes was driving head on, the arrest warrant reads.

Hayes, who worked as a nurse, had gotten off her shift when the wreck occurred, officials say.

Troopers found a “...strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person and there was a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage inside the Ford F-150 the the accused was driving,” according to the warrant. There were also beer cans inside and outside the vehicle.

Ruiz allegedly had a blood alcohol content of 0.05 percent after a test given with a portable breathalyzer on the scene. For an adult, a BAC of 0.08 percent is considered intoxicated in Alabama. Ruiz was charged with DUI because he is below drinking age and the legal BAC numbers are different for people below drinking age said Dan Cowell, assistant District Attorney.

According to DMV.org, "In Alabama, driving under the influence is defined as driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of: 0.08 percent or more. 0.04 percent or more in a commercial vehicle. 0.02 percent or more, if you are younger than 21 years old.
